Something difficult
about your “lot in life” and how you’re working to overcome it…


Find a balance in life.

And the irony of it all is that I don’t even have a full-time job. Although, I am convinced that if I did, I wouldn’t be so busy, because I would have an excuse to say no without hurting people. 

Today is a perfect example…
I was up most of the night with a coughing baby.
I called the doctor first thing for an email prescription.
I had breakfast with SJ.
I cancelled a morning beach walk with friends.
I walked her around the house (we have to practice walking!)
I changed her into her outfit for the day.
I showered and got dressed.
I called my hubs who is away on business.
(This was all before 8am)

I called our old lawyer.
I made two family payments.
I photocopied documents.
I checked and followed up on old payments.
I followed up on the prescription.
I emailed our new house owners.
I emailed our travel agent.

I went to a site meeting.
I listened to programmes and minutes.
I surveyed the site.
I confirmed meeting times.

And 8 hill sprints.
I witnessed a beautiful sunset.

I collected SJ from granny’s house.
I laughed with granny.

I drove home.
I made SJ’s dinner.
I fed her dinner.
I made her bottle.
I laughed my hubs.
I showered and got into pjs.
I read SJ a story.
We said our prayers.
I put her to bed.
I served and ate dinner.
I read a few blogs.
I blogged.

And my night isn’t over…
Are you tired yet? Because I am exhausted.

I am a people pleaser and I struggle saying no.
This leaves me with endless tasks, dates and things to do each day. I also do things for myself and my family. 
I am trying to be better. I am prioritising.

I am trying to balance life.
